Simple Stems Note Cards

Today's card features the Simple Stems stamp set, some colour coordinating ribbon and Stampin' Up Note Cards.

Stampin' Up Note Cards  are a great way to create cards.  They are slightly smaller than a standard C6 size card and come with envelopes.  This design was inspired by a card Jacque Williams sent me.  She is my upline's upline and team leader of Creative Inkers.  It is so nice to receive cards from fellow demos, have the support of my upline, as well as Jacque who oversees the larger team.

Jacque's card to me featured other stamp set, but I liked the way she used the ribbon on the card and embossed the background to add to the main stamped image.  I like the way this Simply Stem stamp set allows for two step stamping which makes it easy to use two different colours.  

After I had stamped the flower and matted it onto some coloured card I felt the square was wider than it needed to be and it should have been more of a rectangle shape.  I felt it looked it a bit empty on each side of the flower. I decided to add some Rhinestones on each side and I was pleased with the results. 

If you would like to purchase some Note Cards or other products, you can order direct through me or through the online store by selecting me as your demonstrator.

On Film Framelits Dies with Simple Stems in Crisp Cantaloupe

Here is a similar style card to yesterday, but using some different colours.  Yesterday's card featured Summer Starfruit.  This ones still uses the Sweet Sorbet DSP paper available through Sale-a-bration, but features Crisp Cantaloupe.

 

I also made an envelope that coordinates with the card.

Here is a coordinating gift that I made to go with the card.  It is a covered shopping notepad.  It has a magnet on the back so it can be placed on the fridge.  I made a box using the Envelope Punch Board to put the gift in.

 

Here is the set - card and gift.

On Film Framelit Dies with Sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet DSP

I had lots of fun using the On Film Framelits Dies with the Peachy Keen and Simple Stem stamp sets.  This card was inspired by something my upline, Julia Leece had made.

Here is the card with its coordinating envelope.

Here is a close up of the front of the card. I was initially going to put the greeting banner on the right side of the card, but I noticed an unfortunate ink smudge on the bottom of the left front of the card, so I had to cover it up somehow.  Putting the greeting banner on the left thankfully hid the smudge.

Here is the inside of the card.
